DOHA, Qatar – Qatar Airways announces that it will be showcasing two luxurious aircraft from its Qatar Executive fleet at the Farnborough International Airshow in the United Kingdom, which takes place this year from 11 to 17 July.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said, “Qatar Airways is delighted to be participating once again in this year’s Farnborough International Airshow. Visitors will be able to experience the exceptional quality provided by Qatar Executive on board both the latest Gulfstream G650ER and the all-Business Class Airbus A319.”
As the world’s furthest range private jet, the G650ER, the first of 30 Gulfstreams on order, was welcomed into the Qatar Executive fleet in December 2015 and is one of the most sought-after business jets thanks to its phenomenal range, industry-leading cabin technology and unparalleled cabin comfort.
The Qatar Executive G650ER aircraft can fly non-stop from the Middle East to North America or from destinations in Asia to Africa – further, faster than any other jet of its kind – and is perfectly suited for those whose travel needs include flying halfway around the globe.
Featuring the largest panoramic windows of any aircraft in the world of business aviation, the industry’s lowest cabin noise levels and excellent payload-carrying capability, customers will receive a premium charter experience, while they immerse themselves in the understated luxury of the aircraft’s cabin interior.
Qatar Executive’s ultra-long range G650ER has a two-cabin configuration and a capacity for up to 13 passengers. Seats convert into fully-flat beds so that seven guests can easily sleep on board.
Also taking centre stage at the show, the Qatar Executive all-Business Class Airbus A319 aircraft can comfortably accommodate 40 passengers in lie-flat 180 degree Business Class seats configured in a generous 2-2 configuration.
The luxurious cabin provides a truly premium environment with unique levels of comfort and privacy. Inspired by luxury automotive seating design, each of the 40 Business Class seats is tailored in sumptuous black leather with white stitching, while on board connectivity allows passengers to continue working throughout the flight without interruption.
Qatar Executive is the private jet division of the Qatar Airways Group, and is the leading provider of jet aircraft charter services together with premier aircraft management, maintenance and handling services in the Middle East and around the world.
